What she had omitted was that she would not allow her precious daughter to marry someone like Cooper who was a bastard son without prestige.Her daughter must be wed to a proper, wealthy family!The only one who should marry Cooper was Kelsey.There was no way Josephine would marry him!“Is she now? That’s strange, I remember seeing her going on a date with Cooper the other time.” Kelsey stated candidly.Everyone in the living room was stunned with silence upon hearing this.The elders of the Lyons immediately cast a suspicious look at Cooper.Megan frowned with disgust and started telling off Kelsey, “What kind of nonsense are you going about? You must have got the wrong person!”Why would her darling daughter go out with someone like Cooper of all people?Kelsey took her time recalling the tale. “I remember they were at the seaside manor together. It wasn’t just me, there were many other people present who saw them too. Or are you suggesting that everyone was mistaken as wel
Kelsey sneaked into her father's study.Where were her documents hidden?She searched every corner of the study.Finally, she found her documents tucked inside a cabinet under the desk.Alright, mission complete!Kelsey beamed with excitement.She quickly took the documents and hid it carefully before returning to meet Tyler.Unexpectedly, she was caught red-handed by Josephine as soon as she stepped out of the study.“Sis, what were you doing in Dad's study?” Josephine asked suspiciously. She had woken up late today and happened to chance into her.Kelsey felt herself stiffening up immediately. She made up an excuse on the spot. “I just went inside to look for a book.”Josephine was curious. “What book?”A look flickered in Kelsey’s eyes. “It was this book from a long time ago, I thought it would be inside Dad's study but it turns out it wasn’t…”Josephine was still skeptical. “Does Dad put your books inside his study?”She reckoned that Kelsey had just sneaked inside the
Cooper would likely not associate himself with Josephine ever again.However, asking for her to admit having feelings for Cooper was such a tall order.If she had admitted it, Kelsey would seize the chance to persuade her parents to let the two become engaged.“Josephine can't possibly be interested in Cooper! She was only regarding him as her future brother-in-law…” Megan noticed the shifting tides and quickly stepped into the explanation.Kelsey remarked with scorn, “Is her idea of getting along with her future brother-in-law to go on private dates with him?”Megan hastily cried out, “It had to be a misunderstanding…”Kelsey sneered sarcastically. “Are you saying that Josephine going on a date with her future brother-in-law was all just a misunderstanding?”“I…” Megan cringed. She hardly knew how to defend her stance.Kelsey suggested coyly, “I think Josephine and Cooper make a perfect match, why don’t we grant them their wish? Who knows how long they have been keeping their
“Tyler, I got it! I got my documents!”Kelsey cheerily burrowed into the car and eagerly showed Tyler the documents she managed to obtain.A gentle look stirred in Tyler’s eyes as he reached over and took her in his arms.Kelsey looked up at him with a confused expression. “Are we still going to get engaged?”Tyler looked down and stared at her thoughtfully. “Are you sure about wanting to get engaged with me? Getting married is a big deal, there is no way you can change your mind after you go through with this.”Kelsey nodded without hesitation. “Sure!”She was sure she would never regret it.As soon as she had declared her commitment, Tyler drew himself toward her and planted a passionate kiss against her lips.Kelsey nearly had her breath drawn away.A doting look shone in Tyler’s eyes. “Let's go, we’re getting engaged!”He started the car and drove to the church.Kelsey could feel herself getting more giddy than ever.After they arrived at the church, they went through t
Kelsey finally felt an immense wave of relief upon hearing this.Since Tyler had told her that there was nothing going on between him and Zara, she would believe him.Then, she looked at him affectionately. “Are we going somewhere to continue our date now?”Tyler gently patted her head. “I’m taking you back to my house.”“We’re going home?”Kelsey did a double take.They had finally gotten engaged. Should they not be celebrating it somewhere?Tyler noticed her disappointment and quickly coaxed her in a gentle, assuring tone. “There’s something I need to attend to in the office. Let me take you home to get some rest first, then we’ll go out for dinner together tonight.”Kelsey reluctantly nodded upon hearing this.“Alright, you need to get to work, it’s important!”Since she was engaged to him, she had to learn to be understanding and accommodating.Soon, Tyler drove back to the villa.“I’ll be off now, see you tonight!"Kelsey waved goodbye to him and prepared to step out
Kelsey felt emotional the moment she stepped into Tyler’s house.This time, her status was different. She could now live here as the official Mrs. Lang.She trotted around the spacious and luxurious decorated living room.Today, she was in a particularly good mood.She reached for her phone and proceeded to video call Yvonne.“Kelsey, why didn't you come home last night? Where have you been? Are you okay?”Yvonne hurled a barrage of questions the moment she answered the call.Kelsey smiled radiantly. “Don't worry, Yvonne, I'm fine! I’m… I’m at Tyler's place right now!”Yvonne immediately understood what she was implying the moment she heard this.“So you’re finally with Tyler now? Sounds like he is very satisfied with the food you made for him.”Yesterday, Kelsey got up first thing in the morning to prepare a complete lunch set to bring to Tyler’s office for him to taste.She had spent the last week learning to cook from Yvonne.It seemed like her effort was not in vain.H
They were all from Tyler.Kelsey went through each message.“Kelsey, something urgent came up and I have to fly overseas.”“I am very sorry for not spending time with you on our wedding night. I will make up for it when I return!”“I am about to board my flight, you can call your friend and ask her to keep you company.”“Make sure you sleep early, goodnight!”The text Tyler sent about him boarding the plane was from about four hours ago.It was around the time when she was dozing on the couch. She never picked up his calls nor answered his messages.She wondered if his flight had landed yet.She hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to video call Tyler.She wanted to assure him that she was safe at home.Unexpectedly, Tyler answered the call almost immediately.He had already gotten off the plane and had gone to the hotel.The moment he saw Kelsey on his screen, a doting look filled his eyes.He would give anything to fly back home right now and take Kelsey in his
Kelsey continued trying to contact Tyler.She had called him more than twenty times in a row by this point but he still would not pick up.The same went for the video calls.It seemed like she had truly lost contact with Tyler who was in another country.She grew increasingly restless.Although it was already past midnight, she hardly felt the urge to sleep.She stayed up because she was too worried about Tyler.She did not know how to find out about what had happened to him.Then, she suddenly thought of someone who could help her.Tyler's assistant, Shawn.He had always brought Shawn with him on every business trip.The only problem was that Kelsey did not have Shawn’s contact information.Her only resort was to go to the Lang Group in person to ask for it.However, it was already midnight. There were not going to be any employees at the building.She would at least have to wait until tomorrow morning.With this in mind, she paced back and forth anxiously in the living
